A culture of 100 E. coli cells.
Incubation time = 2 hours = 120min
Doubling time = 20min (120/20 = 6)
So, 1 cell - 20min = 2 cells - 20min = 4 cells - 20min = 8 cells - 20min = 16cells - 20min = 32 cells - 20min = 64 cells.
Therefore, 64*100 = 6400cells of E. coli at the end of 2hours incubation time.
